Harvard Grove Cemetery: Though previously believed that no Jewish burials were in this cemetery, the following was submitted: The death record for my great-grandfather, Jacob Levy, who died 9 Feb 1900, states that he was buried at Harvard Grove (Jewish) Cemetery (6100 Lansing Ave.). The undertaker was A.L. Ratner. I visited this cemetery. It is in bad shape but has many Jewish stones still present. Source: Philip J. Leonard

UPDATE and CORRECTION: I enumerated Lansing Cemetery personally and had ample opportunity to look into Harvard Grove (on the other side of the fence). I have seen a very old map of Lansing showing a grave for one Jacob Levy. In many death records, and even in the Jewish newspapers of the time, Lansing was referred to many times as Harvard Grove. The J.D. Deutsch Funeral Home records also mistakenly referred to Lansing as Harvard Grove. However, it is not and was not. Because of my experience with local records, I feel firmly that there are no Jewish burials at Harvard Grove. Those burials are in fact in Lansing, immediately adjacent.
